Began to shoot this movlog because I heard music from the church and wondered if the phone would be able to capture anything worth listening to... The faint echo of hymns sung in the wide space of the enormous cathedral.
Ran the sound through SoundSoap and think it's almost worth hearing.

These young ladies made my summer mornings as special as special can be. Neither I nor any of my siblings have kids, so hanging out with my friends' kids daily if only for a little bit, for six weeks, was charming. Getting in touch with my 'auntie' self.
Aren't they lovely?

For some reason, "Sunny Side of the Street" was on my mind this rainy day in Germany as we toured a royal garden that included among its many wonders a replication of a mosque.

It often happens that folks living their lives near sets impinge upon my job. On regular sets, there are locations departments who deal with these issues. This weekend party night, it falls to me to invite the neighbors to keep it down for the 10 minutes of our broadcast. Mostly, I'd like to see what they have to eat... Mmmmm.
Folks regularly ask if they can be in the movie. Love being able to say they can be in *my movie if they wish.
These good people were lots of fun. Hope to see them again this weekend.

At worst, we destroy important viewpoints through unnecessary editing.
I don't particularly cotton to rules except not to break them when to do so risks arrest.

A cult of affinity.
To which there is all and no allegiance.
For all the land, stone & water

there was not
much common ground.
It was - rather -
uncommon common air;
a union of propensity and proclivity
toward progeneration of
fine, and noteworthy nothings.

A haiku vlog-card from Loiez, one of my favorite poet / vloggers on the planet, and a hugely talented human being. No one's ever made me a video birthday greeting before.
What an honor to have met him and his lovely wife @ VlogEurope .
You've no idea how deeply this touches me, Loiez.
Thank you.

We had the great pleasure of working with two of the same cameras at the same time for Sunday's VlogEurope Treasure Hunt.
This is the same movie previously posted but with the addition of a second or two from the second camera wielded well by Tajee .
Does that single extra shot add value to the piece? You tell me. I think it does.
It's complicated to keep the footage straight.
My workflow was thus:
Xacti --> SD card --> card reader --> drag-n-drop files into folders named for the cameras - e.g. white and blue --> drag-n-drop into Sanyo/Xacti Final Cut Express HD project.
Next time I would separate the footage by location during dailies screening, placing 'water shots' in one sequence, 'breakfast shots' in another sequence, etc.
The Xacti waterproof cameras themselves dried off very well.
Heidelberg was the perfect spot for a field operation with waterproofs.

Think it may be possible to use a boom pole (already in the tool kit) rather than invest in a new monopod device.

Rather than talk all the time, VlogEurope set up a Sunday game situation whereby we could focus on filming projects as teams. Further important information-flow came organically out of that experience. More footage to come, but this contains the "rules" as outlined by VlogEurope organizer Raymond

Recently photocast an image of the French Macarons brought to lunch by a dear friend, and this video appeared in the comments as a response.
Gay Ex-Pat 's beautifully-rendered video of French version of the macaron (that's right, it's spelled 'macaron') contains no coconut, but is rather a meringue-based confection made with powdered almonds. Yum.
Everything is delicious.

I get such a kick out of Better Bad News. They've got a relatively large group of folks together to satirize anything they can get their minds around. In THIS episode, they pick on Web 2.0 economics and social networking.
"Investors should have to compete for my business," says BBN.
I agree, at least in attitude and in principle.
In the larger picture, for the last six months or so BBN has been poking link-love vloggersational fun at A-listers across the web. Congdon . Calacanis . Gillmore Gang . Adam Curry . Scoble . Jarvis . YouTube's Renetto . They even did a mashup of one of Jay Dedman's moving pictures, comparing him to Hamlet and asking whether videoblogging is 'art' .
Their answer:
"If asked again I would say, yes, video blogging is art whenever it succeeds in reeling me in."
I've neither seen nor heard any media ripples from this link-love endeavor.
Why is that?

After marrying a couple who declared their love in celebration of freedom and justice, Rev is arrested for exorcising the Starbucks exterior.
Reverend Billy, the Stop Shopping Gospel Choir and members of our Congregation gathered at the Astor Place cube on Sunday February 11 to continue informing the world that Starbucks is blocking Ethiopia from trademarking ancient coffee names , trademarks that could help farmers in a bottomed-out coffee market make enough money to feed their families. For the second week in a row the New York Police Department arrested Reverend Billy, this time before any of the congregation could enter the store. Starbucks can't allow the truth to even hover on its doorstep! But everyone will know: that Starbucks is blocking coffee farmers from receiving more compensation for their labor, that Starbucks buys less than 4% of their coffee within Fair Trade parameters , that Starbucks is a union-busting, anti-labor company! The Sidamo Prayer Campaign continues!

As the vlog class of 2004 becomes more immersed in the videoblogging field, space is left for later classes to step up. When Ryanne Hodson's busy-ness gap occurred in the midst of advocating Michael Ambs' Project Pedal , I stepped up with Road Node 101-inspired glee. Project Pedal is the essential 2nd millennial road trip. Human powered in every way, starting June 2, 2007, Ambs will follow and document the two-wheeled road trip magic of subjects Larry and Jay as they undertake a cross-country bicycle journey. Michael arrived at Have Money Will Vlog having lost support from a classic documentary film organization. It seemed to me he came to us despairing of accomplishing his dream film in the way he'd dreamed it. The production issues Michael and I spoke about were geared toward helping him embrace the one-human-band videoblogging makes possible. Michael is at heart a classic film maker, so it is fitting for him to have won the $25,000 first prize in Network2.tv's promo contest that now suppo...
